First-century Rome comes alive in the gripping epic of Hadassah, a young Jewish Christian, and the Romans she serves as a slave! Torn between her desire to witness to her masters and her fear of persecution, she speaks out---but will her testimony land her with the lions in the arena? Includes a study guide. 480 pages, softcover from Tyndale.
“Francine unlocks the longing in each one of us to connect to God in a deeper, life-changing way. No one reading her books will ever be the same again.”-—Debbie Macomber
“As we ‘watch’ Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. The ‘costumes’ may vary, but our victorious Lord does not change.”-—Angela Hunt, author of Doesn’t She Look Natural?
“Francine redefined Christian fiction—honest, unflinching, powerful, life-changing—demonstrating why storytelling is the most effective way to communicate God’s truth. Every Christian novelist writing today owes a debt of gratitude to Francine Rivers for lighting the way.”-—Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of the Lowlands of Scotland series
“Francine Rivers writes from her heart to touch the hearts of her readers. Her books are essential reading for all who love Christian fiction. . . .”—Bodie Thoene, winner of 8 ECPA Gold Medallion Awards for Christian fiction

For whatever reason, though I enjoyed this book immensely, to me it wasn't nearly as good as the other two. Maybe it was because it lacked the romance between Hadassah and Marcus. That makes sense, considering the last 2 chapters were my favorite parts! But it was great finally seeing Marcus become saved and the continuation of the strong and unshakable faith of Hadassah.

After recieving book #1 "A Voice In The Wind" in the series as a birthday gift I had to read more. I was very surprised that I liked a novel of this historical period. I am now reading book three and I wish there were more in this series.

A wonderful story of the blessings which can come to us if we totally commit ourselves to obeying our Lord Jesus. How heart-warming it is when we can see our Lord's enemies finally understanding and accepting His love.

Francine Rivers is an awesome writer. This book has really deepened my understanding of the Word and my faith. It brings the Bible to life even more if that is possible. This would be a great movie. The impact of this book is phenomenal. Well written in every sense.

I wish it were possible to give this book 6 stars! I didn’t think it was possible, but this book is even better than the first. Some of the major themes of the book are forgiveness, repentance, self-sacrifice, and of course, love. The book picks up immediately where the last one left off and takes the reader through Marcus’ spiritual journey and the obstacles and consequences Julia is forced to endure because of her bad choices. One of the messages in this book is God’s faithfulness and His never-ending love for us even though we aren’t worthy. The characters and plot are well written and well developed.
